Back in December, I got an email from Schrader saying that their latest offer would start today, January 26, at 9am PST. I’m having no luck on their website, however. Am I missing something (other than a chance to buy some more Schrader)?

Well that’s irritating for me. Still no email today, and my account on their website won’t show me an offer. It’s particularly irritating as not only have I been buying my allocations for several years, but I even went in for their mid-year library release stuff.
Who owns the Schrader brand these days? Did they ever end up developing their own vineyards or just stick with buying contract fruit and outsourcing the winemaking to TRB?
I just called Schrader to find out why I have no offer yet and apparently my offer doesn’t go live until tomorrow morning at 9am (assuming Pacific time). Wonder why the staggering by one day.
I don’t recall getting a heads up email in the recent past either.
Has anyone tried the Wappo Hill? I purchased since 2002 and don’t recall that one. Just wondering what it is similar to.
They added LPV a few years ago and thats been one of my least favorite bottlings they do.
Curious what the general level of energy/excitement is for 2019 Schrader? There seems to be a general decline of excitement about Schrader over the last couple of years and wondering how others on this forum are viewing the 2019 vintage in terms of quality (vis-a-vis other recent years).
I always have enjoyed Scrader. I think a lot of us have some trepidation about the buyout and what that holds for the future, but I’ll keep buying as long as the quality stays where it is and the price doesn’t skyrocket.
By the way, I finally got into the offer this morning, and as I thought, Old Sparky was wishlist only by this point.
I just checked my allocation and I still have 2 Old Sparkys and 1 Colesworthy as an option. They were grayed out until I selected one of either the Collection Pack or terroir Packs.
